I lost a huge multi-post writeup to get this bit from Amspacher's "Troya Victa" but there was a tremendous stew of ideas swirling and coagulating about in the late 12th/early 13th century Frankish mind.

Also that this is based on decades if not centuries of artistic shorthand of rendering chainmail for ninja as this fishnet mesh texture, that then just becomes fishnets through broken telephone.

i think being afraid of other people thinking you're pretentious for engaging with art seriously is part of how you end up with backhanded "deconstructions" where you're constantly reassuring that you know how stupid and unimpressive the genre and medium you're working with is

This is an appreciation post for the superb Tadanobu Asano in his role as Kashigi Yabushige in Shogun. One of the greatest "smiling piece of shit" characters ever. King.

Ossoff is definitely building a lot of momentum right now but until he starts supporting the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and taking on the supreme court I can't say I'm down with the current perception of him as The Guy.

"Modern vernacular fantasy ideas get read backwards into a text that is perceived as having originated them but which doesn’t really contain them" is such a good way to put that phenomenon, holy shit. I've always wanted to find the right way to articulate that point.

For my latest video I had to draw Dumbarton in the 9th century, however, the Viking destroyed it. "Siege of Dumbarton by the Northmen; that is to say Olaf and Ivar, two kings of the Northmen, besieged that fortress, and at the end of four months destroyed the fortress and plundered it”. Ulster an.
A map showing Dumbarton possible in the 9th century.

It's Bastille day but also Philip Augustus Death Day on July 14, 1221 which feels thematically appropriate

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a guy with his finger resting on his chin appears to be in thought. A girl behind him with her hand on her hips says, “are you even listening to me?” Panel 2: the tableau - including the speech bubble - from the first panel starts to morph into… Panel 3: a bearded man in a hat rest under a tree with his dog. They are on the bank of a river. A goose stands under another nearby tree. The sky is big and blue.

Grandiloquent Word of the Day @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
Culaccino [KOO-la-CHEE-no] (n.) - The stain left on a table from a cold glass of water. Used in a sentence: “The most irritating thing about hosting a soiree is the cleaning up after, and the most irritating part of that is the finding of a culaccino on our George II walnut side table.”
A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Culaccino,” pronounced “[KOO-la-CHEE-no],” and defined as “The stain left on a table from a cold glass of water.” Beneath it, an example sentence reads: “The most irritating thing about hosting a soirée is the cleaning up after, and the most irritating part of that is the finding of a culaccino on our George II walnut side table.” On the right is a black line illustration of a half-full drinking glass.
